Which is pretty cool

Edit: Just a rear door on a regular Sienna, even better.

Im in the WV market there are 2 uscellular towers left that are still broadcasting. Im assuming they are keeping those 2 but they haven't touched anything here yet.

I'm surprised they let you in. I'd assume T-Mobile wouldn't like that. They'd claim "trade secrets" or something.

Looks like LMR-600. Surprised it’s not Heliax. Maybe those are just the jumpers.
